Protesters united to demand action be taken regarding a sketch, titled "Kids' Table," from Kimmel's October 16 show where he held a round-table with children, asking them how the United States should solve the foreign-debt crisis. A young boy responded, "Kill everyone in China." Later in the segment, Kimmel revisited the topic and asked, "Should we allow the Chinese to live?" The children appeared divided, replying both "yes" and "no."

Kimmel recently got into hot water with Kanye West after spoofing West's BBC interview by replacing both the rapper and the interviewer with children.

Days after the segment aired, a petition for feedback from the White House began to collect signatures. After garnering more than the 100,000 signatures needed for an official response, the protest has found renewed fervor.

A month after the initial broadcast and amid national protests, a group of people in downtown Minneapolis voiced their opinions on Kimmel and ABC.

Protesters cried for peace while walking along Nicollet Mall.

Protestors gathered at 8th Street and Nicollet Mall early in the afternoon, equipped with signs with messages like "Fire Kimmel for promoting genocide" and "ABC's killing joke hurts." The group marched up and down a short stretch of the mall, while members of the Minneapolis Police Department controlled traffic along the street.

Organizers handed out flyers with an open letter to the public detailing their grievances and demands for Kimmel and ABC.

Though the group joined in celebration of peace, the event did not pass without conflict. While protesters chanted peaceful slogans, a pedestrian stopped and began yelling at the group. "Kill them all!" he shouted. "Shoot them all!"

For a moment, both protestors and other pedestrians on Nicollet Mall fell silent. The group soon resumed their cry for peace while an officer told the man to cease. The man yelled, "Freedom of speech, it's a free country," before walking away from the group.

While the protestors were visibly taken aback by the commotion, they continued their rally with even more enthusiasm.

Fucking morons! Go protest something helpful. Turn off the TV and don't watch late night comedy. This is what's wrong with country, too many people giving a shit about the wrong issues, and people not knowing what comedy is.

I am beginning to suspect that Abbott and Costello knew the identity of the first baseman all along. Yet they led people to believe that they were confused. Don't people understand that humour is serious?

If it was Wolf Blitzer doing a documentary, these people might have a point.

This is truly absurd. The bit on Jimmy Kimmel was blatantly obviously emulating the recent AT&T commercials ie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3R-rtWPyJY The fact that the kids said some truly offensive things was not related to Jimmy's perspective. He laughed at the ridiculous things the kids were saying. The fact that people have taken offence to this shows how ignorantly unaware of parody and satire people in our society are. I would be willing to bet good money the people protesting are the same idiots who think that Steven Colbert's character on the Colbert Report is not a farcical satirical figure, but instead really believe the nonsense he uses to elucidate the ridiculous nature of the arrogantly self-righteous right-wing crazies.

WHat the hell? seriously? It looks like Jimmy Kimmel was using the absurdity of the idea as a joke. the fact that he made it a joke was to illustrate how terrible of an idea it is. These people are just confused I see. Meanwhile, genocide is being carried out in some countries around the world, apartheid in the middle east, indigenous people having their natural resources stolen from then by foreign interests. There are real problems in the world where real kids and people are dying, and they waste their time on this? these people are the worst kind of ignorant. There are so many more things you could be worried about. ugh go back to your gated community, the world has real problems to deal with.

Maybe we should be more offended by the people who do actually sit around and discuss if it is acceptable for us to wipe out various parts of the world. Bomb cities here and there. These table conversations have and do happen. It is ridiculous. Skits like that make it super obvious how appalling and ridiculous it is to believe that people in power have the right to use it in such a fashion. You should be offended. Not by a skit though. Reality check your feelings.
